Have you updated any of the files like the rootfs or the kernel package? Also, you will need to read the first post in THIS thread and replace the file either in the root of your microSD or if you are using the andboot option, in that folder.
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
Fixed the problem a while back, was related to the kernel, had to switch to a different one. Now everything works great, almost.

Although it is very usable, my problem has been that when when the phone goes to sleep, it will keep the backlight on for a period of time with the screen black. Then at some point the backlight will turn off, i assume a deep sleep. When this happens the phone is completely unresponsive, however the leds around the center button fades as if its charging. Only a soft reset will work.

Thanks again.
[Touch Pro CDMA] R^7Z:
I usually don't enable auto back light because that is still being worked on if I'm not mistaken. Instead, I turn off the screen manually. Usually helps to enable pattern lock, for me anyway. Make sure you are updating as there has been some recent updates as of late: FRX05.

:cool:

[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
ill give that a shot

I disabled all backlight features in WinMo and Android and everything works perfect. Thanks. However my GPS has never worked, just says aquiring until it times out saying that it couldn't find any satellites.
[Touch Pro CDMA] R^7Z:
I believe GPS is disabled by default. This may or may not be listed as such but I think I recall reading this somewhere (maybe IRC logs?). Unfortunately, this is something the devs are still working on and hoping someone "fixes" it eventually... :D
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
Im not worried about gps at all, if i need it I can use WinMo. Been using android exclusively on my TP for 2 days now and it works great. Battery life is great too.
[Touch Pro CDMA] R^7Z:
Have you tried out the camera yet? I tried it out the first time yesterday and I was stunned! Don't think I ever saw the camera work in Android before so to say the least I smiled when I tapped the camera icon and saw what the camera was pointing at... :D Even though it seemed like it hung after it took the picture, I may have been a tad impatient with it at the time as I was slightly excited! ;)

Very nice! :)
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
I have not tried the camera yet unfortunately. I will right now and post back. Ive had pretty low expectations so im not like others and complaining by any means.
[Touch Pro CDMA] R^7Z:
Additionally, it helps to have that sort of mentality. Not required but by all means it does help to be helpful! :D
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
You cant expect too much when your running a non-native os on an unsupported device. I used to be a big member of the xbox dev forums back in the day. So i can understand the users that complain when things are in alpha stage. I guess I can start posting in the development forums now that im over 10 posts.

My camera didnt work when I tried it by the way. black screen area then showed a crash message. Like I said no big deal, usability I would say is still excellent. If i need to use gps or camera ill just use winmo till then, no biggie!

Could you explain how you fixed your screen issue going off center and shifting to the left...I am having same problem
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
I downgraded my kernel. Can't remember which one I used in frx04 as I lost my SD card with 04 on it and have since been using FRX05 which worked as downloaded with no changes to the kernel needed. If you look at the FRX04 thread in the beginning, there is a reference to Touch Pro users having to use a different kernel (1225 I think), and I just down,loaded it and extracted it overwriting the kernel that came with FRX04. I haven't tried FRX06, but tried the GBXOA gingerbread bundle today on another SD card and it seemed too buggy for my liking, crashed in the XDA Dev app while trying to reply to your post. Sure loos and flows nie tho. Try using FRX05 or 06, rather than 04..
[Touch Pro CDMA] jasew503:
The kernel I replaced it with was 1242 btw

Hope you guys can help. I want to keep my evo the way it is. I like the sense ui and how everything is laid out. The ONLY thing I want to do is remove bloat programs and use the tethering. I figure I would root using this http : // www . youtube.com/watch?v=3z6gtrxwTQk

Can I do all this just by rooting or do I need to flash a ROM? Are there ROMs that offer what I want? Thanks in advance.

root and then titanium backup will remove bloatware, tether app on market will tether for you
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Yeah root and use mik stock froyo is faster but everything stays like normal and you can remove the bloatware with titanium backup, like the person above me said ^^^
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbazaldua:
First, I'm going to suggest to you that you read the articles below to get you familiar with rooting, and then I suggest you read some more on these and other forums

before

you even attempt rooting. Learn the rooting vocabulary and processes involved (rooting, nandroid backup, recoveries, flashing ROMs, kernels, etc.). Also, try and read up on problems people have rooting and troubleshooting should something go wrong. You want to be able to get yourself out of a mess should problems arise. Most importantly, you want to know what you're doing so you don't brick your phone.

The easiest way to root your phone is to use the latest unrevoked 3.32 with the hboot drivers if using Windows (http://unrevoked.com/#evo). After you root your phone do a nandroid backkup of your phone. From here you can keep your original Sense ROM that came on your phone and just use Titanium Backup to "freeze" the bloatware on your phone. Download and install the free version of Titanium Backup and then immediately purchase the premium license. Getting approval for the premium license may take a while. It took a couple of hours for me to finally get it onto my phone.

I just came from the Sprint store to talk about my bill. The rep says he has the EPIC and there are no issues to quote with the EPIC with his 2 fingers in the air. I told him I had issues with bluetooth and txting. He didnt believe me at all. He said they need to re-flash my phone, and or do a hard reset. I told him I did all this and I still have issues. Said I need to go back to whom I purchased the phone from. So I wanted to tell you SPRINT thinks alot of themselves and does not care about you at all.:mad: I think when you have time & money you should bail on Sprint. Does anyone know of a better Network provider?

Yes i have already searched the forums but there are no instructions to install Overcome v1.1.3. can anyone guide me ?
[Galaxy Tab General] Qsilver2001:
If you have already read the Overcome thread there is instructions how to install it. Thot its messy in the 1st post. Hehe

In order to install the rom. You can use clockworkmod or odin to install.

1) CWM is to be install into your tab & flash the rom via in recovery mode. The rom is stall inside your sdcard(the removable)

2) For Odin, its an app on your computer. You flash the rom via odin from your computer with your tab in usb connection (in debug mode)
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
Personally, I followed these Instructions here: http://www.droid-den.com/phone-guides/phone-guide-install-custom-modaco-rom-and-kernel-on-samsung-galaxy-tab-guide to install Modaco Kernel with ext4 conversion and CWM, and simply replaced the Modaco Rom in the instructions with Overcome v1.1.3 full. Worked a treat. With the new Overcome v1.2.0, just use the full install zip (don't forget to wipe everything including dalvik cache in clockwork, and don't forget to make backups!) and you will get the Overcome Kernel aswell, which is sweet.

All of this will get you upgraded to having CWM, ext4 Filesystem, and the Rom.

I would also suggest doing a RotoBackup first, always good to have a backup of original software etc.
[Galaxy Tab General] PyroCF:
I started off by flashing the euro 1.4GHz OC kernel with Heimdall which included Clockwork recovery, it seemed the safest option as opposed to using the bootstrap off of the market. Then flashed overcome 1.1.3 via clockwork.
[Galaxy Tab General] samsung-tab:
any link for Overcome v1.1.3 download ?
[Galaxy Tab General] Mikroft:
Just get 1.2.1. Its the latest and greatest.

If you are coming from 1.1.x then IIRC you can just use the upgrade zip rather than the full wipe zip. I did this last night and it is fine.

[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Hi.

I'm wondering if anyone knows a good app that alerts you like "You've got mail" "Incoming message."

If you've ever owned iPhone, I think you'd know what I'm looking for when I say "Crystal Voice." This was such a great app. Nice voice and professional.

I suppose it's possible to repackage the sound files from Crystal Voice and make it into a sound set for Android instead, but I'm not smart enough to do that lol.

I'd appreciate any input on this. I'm more and more loving my Android :D

[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Thanks for the tip. It looks like an interesting program.

Unfortunately, I'd rather keep my phone light and don't want to install a heavy program like that for my small purpose.

I ended up just doing it myself. In case, anyone is interested, here is what I did.

1. I extracted the sound files I wanted from iPhone (in this case, Crystal Voice). You can get whatever sound files you want.

2. Convert them into mp3 files.

3. Put them on your phone's sdcard

4. Use Root Explorer (or other softwares) to move them into desired directories:

System/Media/Audio/Notifications

System/Media/Audio/Ringtones

System/Media/Audio/UI

I think it's supposed to work then, but I had some trouble with the sound files not showing up, so I took the following steps.

5. Use ADB to change ownership of the files. "chown root.root filename"

6. Set permission to same as other stock sound files (you can easily check and compare through Root Explorer)

7. Restart your phone.

*In order to make some of those changes, you need to make sure to put your phone in debug mode. When you use ADB and use "su," make sure you have Superuser app running then choose allow.

*For UI files: For UI file, you need to rename your custom sound file to the exact same name and replace it.

Why should you bother?

lol, maybe you don't need to, but here are my reasons:

- I don't want to install 3rd party software because I want to keep my phone light. If I keep relying on 3rd party softwares, soon I'll be clogging my phone with too much stuff, slowing it down eventually and taking up space.

- With this method, the sound files become part of the ROM itself. This means, I can make a backup of this ROM, and whenever I do restore, I don't need to reset the sounds because they will be there as default sounds already set.

- Just for the fun and learning purpose. I'm new to Android, so it's good for me to experiment and learn tricks :)

I hope this is helpful to some people. If anyone want the sound files from Crystal Voice, let me know. I can share them with you.

GT
[HTC Inspire 4G] dudewitdashoes:
I would greately appreciate it if you could send me the sound files from Crystal Voice?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Sure. I might as well make it available here for others too rather than responding to each request.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UDCBZSA8

Some notes!

- I didn't make them. Crystal Voice is a free sound theme in iPhone. The credit goes to its author. I merely converted them to make them compatible with Android.

- You have to manually replace the files. Chown may not be neccesary as some sound files worked without that step.

- ACCESS GRANTED: I really love this unlock voice. HOWEVER, it turns out that Android uses the same sound for when you submit things on the internet (e.g. when you click on search) and when you pull or dismiss the keyboard. In other words, your phone will say "Access granted" many times. I gave up on using this sound because that's just annoying and weird. (Instead, I am using a Lion's roar sound, which is cool for both unlocking and browsing experience). I suggest you find your favorite sound for it too (maybe a puppy? lol).

I hope this is helpful,

[Nook Color General] diomark:
I went to the local costco today to check out the xoom and perhaps purchase it (they had plenty in stock btw) - it's a great device, and very speedy.. BUT - it's just too big:(

We already know the nook is a fast device - eclair w/ OC kernel or CM7 shows us that.. I think we've got a nice little device in our hands when honeycomb gets successfully (i.e. with video working/etc) ported to the nook.. I think about the only thing I'll miss on the xoom (vs. our nook) is skype video once that comes out..

BTW - the market app looks really cool on the xoom - tablet optimized.. doesn't look anything like the market app I'm used to..

-mark
[Nook Color General] funnycreature:
Did the same tonight. I was really impressed by how smooth everything was flowing and the screen seemed nice as well. I was really impressed by the new Google maps! I ordered the Xoom 25% off so I might keep it or not.
[Nook Color General] altimax98:
Part of me wanted the zoom but $800 is just crazy and 600 isnt a whole lot better.

The way i see is it that i have the money for a sentra and thats what i bought, why complain that the bmw comes stock with nav, leather and all other bells and whistles????

I bought (what i still believe to be the) best price/package deal on the market. It doesnt have a gps... my droid 1 is always with me. It doesnt have a camera.. again my droid does. It doesnt have 3g.. wireless tethering on droid 1. It doesnt have a tegra2.... my xbox plays games and my way oc'd dual video card pc plays everything else.

The nook is the perfect size, look, screen, and fit for me and my life. I havent regretted one day my purchase. I look at the zoom, sometimes wanting, but i always remember that my cheap little sentra still gets me back and forth to work perfectly fine.

[Nook Color General] lelandjs:
Yeah, I'm a big fan of the size of the Nook. I had an iPad and it proved to be just too big to be used the way I wanted to. Too large to pull out surreptitiously, too heavy to hold one-handed. I'd have similar issues with the Xoom, I think.

Also, I have no problem believing that the Nook Color will be getting an excellent Honeycomb rom. It already runs the emulator preview reasonably well, after all.

Not gonna lie, though, I would be happy with CM7+Honeycomb stock apps, if that's what it comes down to.
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
I have ordered the Notion Ink Adam. It's the same size as the Xoom - 10.1" screen - and about the same weight, but from what I hear, the weight is distributed towards the battery end, which is rounded, and acts like a nice grip for the device. I hear it feels lighter than the iPad, even though it's about the same weight. Also, the thing is $375, WiFi-only. $499 with 3G, I believe. It's a high quality product - and no, I don't work for them. ;) If these guys can make this for $375, I'm sure Motorola can make the Xoom for even LESS. It doesn't have HC, yet, but it will, And the "Eden" user interface looks pretty cool. It runs Flash, too, of course - and the big thing is the PixelQi color screen for reading outdoors. Supposed to be great. Personally, I could care less. I don't read outdoors.

I figure it'll be cool to have all three size devices. My HTC Incredible, which is practically stapled to my hand, and is rooted for WiFi tethering and also great for doing a little reading while waiting in line at the DMV or wherever; my Color Nook, for reading either in bed/bathroom or at the restaurant; and the Adam, for bed or around the house, or on the plane.

^Do more research on the Notion. QiXi and LCD screen screens suck.
[Nook Color General] MikeTheSith200:
its Xoom not Zoom
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
I did tons of research. I have seen where SOME people don't like the PixelQi screen because the color is a little washed out, but most people seem to love it. Personally, I could care less, but I also haven't heard anything bad about the LCD screen. Where have you seen anything bad about that? Most of the focus has been on the PixelQi, so I am concerned that you say this. I have heard virtually nothing about the non-PixelQi LCD screen - good or bad. Some references to it seem positive, but just in passing.
[Nook Color General] |attf|:
No Hulu or Netflix.

Not sure what the point is..
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:
there is no hulu or netflix on the xoom or nook so why does that matter?

if you want a tablet that will do everything get a windows tablet pc but imo the nook and the xoom are good alternatives
[Nook Color General] diomark:
Fyi - I'm using both using the playon app and server. Check it out. The server has to run on your PC or mac, and then allows you to stream netflix and hulu to your android device.

Also, SlingPlayer works great on the nook!
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
I've used a screen with Pixel Qi technology for several years on an OLPC XO and it is wonderful. The new version on the Adam is supposedly even better.

There are better LCDs out there... There are better eInk-style screens out there... There is nothing else that effectively gives you both in one panel.
[Nook Color General] diomark:
Exactly. I have an evo as my phone which is my GPS and allows me to tether my nook. Works perfectly for me. I'm jealous of a fully baked honeycomb install such as what the xoom has, but otherwise the nook is the perfect device for me- and well get a better and faster honeycomb rom before too long..

It doesn't make sense to buy a tablet with 3g and a contract in this day and age.

Tegra 2 is nice but once again like Samsung, Motorola is doing the incredibly idiotic thing of (a) tieing the device to data plans and associated 3G costs and (b) egregiously overpricing it to begin with.

The only reasonably priced Tegra 2s ATM are the Viewsonic gTablet, the Elocity A7(not a true multitouch capacitive display though), and Notion Ink Adam...

Nook color is nice, but it lacks enough hardware buttons, microphone, and camera, and as of this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10913175&postcount=35

they've slipped their development schedule(hopefully to go straight to honeycomb with an open platform as stock)... developers seem to be getting restless too(nookdevelopers) and with good reason as they've seemed to've clammed up over the last month or so... hopefully they're not backtracking...

OTOH 3rd party hacking seems to be moving along although I seem to be a minority that is having trouble finding a uSD/reader combo that can produce a bootable uSD for the nook color (want to keep stock fw in emmc so I really need to find a combo that works for me)...
